Behind The Lens

Location

Bwlch, 'top shelf' On the Mach loop North Wales

Time

Taken at 11am

Lighting

Natural bright daylight meant I could shoot at native ISO at fast shutter speed easily

Equipment

Canon 70d & Sigma 120-400 F4.5/5.6 APO DG OS HSM

Inspiration

Love for military aircraft and the military in general.

Editing

Normally I only adjust exposure and contrast with some dehaze, but with this I needed to drop the highlights on the cockpit due to the glare from the glass

In my camera bag

My Canon 70d, Canon 17-40mm f4 L, Sigma 120-400 f4.5/5.6 APO DG OS HSM, Canon 50mm f1.8

Feedback

always shoot at native ISO if you can & us the back button focus to help you get you can focus on firing off your shots rather than half button focus
